Thanks for all the input! Now I should say that I have some quibbles. I'm not fond of the tie, and I have a solid red silk replacement in the post as we speak. I haven't obtained a pocket squre yet, but I have a good source lined up. I'm also inclined to red, perhaps a textured silk in a slightly darker shade than the tie.
I seem to have lost some weight since the kilt was made, as it tends to slip a little. Not a problem when I'm wearing a belt, but I'll have to move the buckles (or gain five pounds) before taking this public.
Finally, the waitcoat is a trifle snug at the bottom. I was negligent in not having it fitted while wearing the kilt. The tailor marked it as he is accustomed to do, but the kilt is a bit thicker about my middle than my shirt. Lesson learned for next time.
Again, I thank you all for the compliments! You may be assured that every bit of good taste I displayed, I learned from you!
